Calling all self-educated investors....
DH and I have invested in Unit Trusts and OEICs for many years with pretty good returns but we think we could do more to enhance our portfolio both in terms of diversification and growth.
We are both in our 40s so many years of working ahead of us still all being well and we want to grow our retirement pot as much as possible plus invest for our children so we recognize two different strategies are needed.
We will also later this year receive a windfall and wish to invest it wisely for the long term.
So further education in personal investing is needed. We are both accountants and work in financial services so should not be a complete standing start for us hopefully. We both keep up to date with current affairs, economies (admittedly mostly the UKs), and the markets and read digests from a few brokers and other websites - with a pinch of salt firmly in hand.
I have just read Andrew Craig's 'Own the World'. What other books or resources would you recommend for us?
thank you
